Does it really matter anymore?

First I want to congratulate Jason Collins on accepting who he is and "coming out of the closet." Whether you're pro or anti gay, it doesn't make a difference, nobody in this country should be forced to be somebody else to satisfy someones insecurities. But I have to ask...Jason Collins, Anderson Cooper, Matt Boomer, and so on have come out of the closet but one has to ask, why is there still a closet? We are in an age where gays and lesbians are accepted now more than ever. Don't get me wrong, the bigotry is still there but there is no reason for people in this day and age to have to be somebody else.
Maybe I'm wrong because I'm straight and I don't have the inner conflict that I'm sure some may have. But look at all the events that have taken place, gays are openly allowed to be in the military and slowly they are getting right to be married. They are opportunities for them to succeed in fields that were never open and it's still expanding. Living down here in South Florida I've seen, met and befriended many gay men and lesbians and the only difference I've seen between my straight friends and gays is my straight friends think there is a difference.
Like I said, I don't care whether your pro or anti gay because none of it matters in the end. This life is too short and to waste it being in denial or hating a particular group, it's pathetic. With foreign powers making threats, economic instability, global disasters...I'm tired of people caring who is what and I'm sure some or most of society is tired with me. If you're more scared that someone of your sex is attracted to you than any other threat, then maybe your the one that needs to be in the closet.

Anthony Labson found his passion in writing at an early age from reading fantasy and science fiction novels. Finding an escape from the outside world by creating one of his own became his greatest gift. He believes that the ability to create a story out of nothing isn't just a gift, but a miracle and, he believes it was given to him. In a time where everything is remade or rebooted, he also believes creativity is at an all-time low, and now is the time to step up to bring creativity back to the world that's just sticking to used up ideas.

Anthony Labson began his writing career attending Nova Southeastern University with The Knight Newspaper as a freelance film critic and being published in the N.S.U. magazine Digressions. After graduating in 2008, he frequently self-published poetry and prose on networks to gain momentum from readers. In December of 2011 he realized that he had more to offer; so here he is, taking the next step to being a recognized author. He is currently self-publishing his works hoping to gain attention from readers, agents, and publishers to become a successful writer.

He firmly believes that the reboots and the remakes are a painful step backwards that's killing dreamers everywhere. The people want to see something fresh and new, not new versions of old ideas. The future is for those who dare to be innovative, no matter how out of the norm it is. If you want something new and something fresh, then please give one of his books a chance. It's time to bring creativity back in a big way, and Anthony Labson wants to be the one who contributes to that dream. Enjoy and until the next is written.
